The veteran quarterback market is settled, but there are still plenty of teams in need of a starting-caliber quarterback.
Fortunately, this is perceived to be a loaded quarterback draft class. But who will land passers after the Bears at No. 1 and Commanders at No. 2 overall? Giants? Vikings, Broncos? Raiders? Will there be a surprise team or two later in Round 1.
This three-round mock sorts it all out.
For more draft coverage, you can hear in-depth analysis twice a week on "With the First Pick" -- our year-round NFL Draft podcast with NFL Draft analyst Ryan Wilson and former Vikings general manager Rick Spielman. You can find "With the First Pick" wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, etc. Listen to the latest episode below!
Round 1 - Pick 1
The Bears will do plenty of research on Williams' demeanor, but if everything checks out there, he'll be the pick at No. 1. They can't trade out of the No. 1 pick again.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 2
The Commanders have not been shy in free agency, and Daniels could be the final piece to kickstart Washington's rebuild.
| |||||||
Mock Trade from
New England Patriots
Round 1 - Pick 3
The Vikings didn't make a move to get No. 23 overall to just sit on their hands now. They make a move -- and maybe even package a mid-rounder in 2025 -- to get this pick to land Maye.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 4
The Cardinals make this pick in seconds, giving Kyler Murray a monster outside vertical threat in MHJ.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 5
The Chargers get an instant WR1 for Justin Herbert in the electric Nabers who can do it all.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 6
Alt is a tall, highly athletic blocker with multiple years of steady production at the offensive line factory that is Notre Dame. Smart move here by New York.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 7
Fashanu is still a young blocker but has All-Pro, even Hall of Fame worthy natural skills. He glides on the field and already plays with immense power.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 8
Arnold and A.J. Terrell would formulate quite the athletic, pesky boundary cornerback duo in Atlanta.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 9
Turner is too talented to not be a top-10 pick. The Bears now have the size and length of Montez Sweat on one end of their defensive line and the bend and explosiveness of Turner on the other.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 10
Odunze to the Jets means Garrett Wilson, Mike Williams, and Odunze will be the starting receiver trio for Aaron Rodgers. Awesome.
| |||||||
Mock Trade from
Minnesota Vikings
Round 1 - Pick 11
The Patriots slide back and still land a quarterback. Fantastic maneuvering by Eliot Wolf.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 12
Verse would boost the Broncos perimeter pass rush, which is a major need for this club entering the 2024 season.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 13
Fuaga is a masher at right tackle with stellar feet. Tremendous add here for Antonio Pierce's Raiders.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 14
Best-prospect-available approach here for the Saints with Bowers, who will hit the ground running in the NFL.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 15
Mitchell had arguably the best combine of any cornerback, and the Colts gravitate toward plus athletes.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 16
Powers-Johnson is built like a guard but moves like the center he is. Instant starter with plus upside for Seattle.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 17
Fautanu can play all five offensive line positions and will bolster the Jaguars' protective unit in front of Trevor Lawrence as he enters a pivotal Year 4.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 18
Latham was enormous at the NFL Combine and moved rather explosively in the on-field drills. He's the Bengals' Day 1 starter at right tackle if this is the pick.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 19
Latu is right in the Rams' backyard and pieced together consecutive ultra-productive seasons as a pass-rush-move aficionado.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 20
The Steelers are rumored to be interested in trading for Brandon Aiyuk. If that mega-trade doesn't happen, they very well could be in the receiver market early in this draft, and Thomas is a stud specimen.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 21
Mims is an enormous and balanced blocker who will help the future of the offensive line protecting Tua Tagovailoa.
| |||||||
Mock Trade from
Philadelphia Eagles
Round 1 - Pick 22
The Cardinals don't wait around to add an explosive up-field rusher with karate-master hand work in Newton.
| |||||||
Mock Trade from
Minnesota Vikings
Round 1 - Pick 23
A do-everything defensive back to turn over the football often as the Patriots turn to a new chapter.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 24
Robinson is too talented for the Cowboys to pass on him here. Fun pass-rush pairing from Penn State takes shape in Dallas.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 25
Wiggins is spindly but possesses the movement skills and ball awareness to be a lockdown defender in Green Bay's defense.
| |||||||
Mock Trade from
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Round 1 - Pick 26
The Chiefs make an aggressive move for Guyton, who has the length, frame and on-field athleticism to eventually be a stellar left tackle in the NFL.
| |||||||
Mock Trade from
Arizona Cardinals
Round 1 - Pick 27
McKinstry has hummed under the radar in this pre-draft process but had two strong seasons back-to-back at Alabama, and the Eagles need more cornerback help.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 28
The Bills opt for a big, super-fast, ascending receiver to start as the No. 2 in Buffalo who can eventually be the top target for Josh Allen.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 29
Murphy on the same front as Alim McNeill and D.J. Reader would be such a spectacular complementary unit.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 30
With Nubin and Kyle Hamilton, they Ravens would boast two long, athletic and instinctive safeties on their defense.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 31
Suamataia is the type of upside-based offensive tackle Kyle Shanahan could gravitate towards late in Round 1.
| |||||||
Mock Trade from
Kansas City Chiefs
Round 1 - Pick 32
Barton is an agile, do-it-all blocker who can play any position up front. High-floor pick by the Buccaneers after the trade back.
